This Treasure Just Got Even More Irresistible! Stunning, Unaffected River-View Retreat - Proudly Resilient & Completely Unaffected by Hurricane Helene. When Helene brought historic flooding to parts of the Cane River valley in September 2024, this home stood strong-high and dry with zero damage. Its smart elevation and solid build made it one of the true success stories along the river, untouched while the community has since fully rebounded: roads, bridges and river access restored, infrastructure repaired and the serene mountain lifestyle thriving once again. Nestled serenely along the pristine Cane River, this captivating 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath gem with a versatile bonus/flex room perfectly blends modern comfort and breathtaking mountain tranquility. Inside, an open-concept living space bathes in natural light, featuring gleaming oak hardwood floors and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling natural stone fireplace as the cozy centerpiece. The chef-inspired kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining and living areas-ideal for lively gatherings, family meals or quiet evenings by the fire. Step outside to a covered side porch and spacious open front deck, where you can unwind with stunning river and mountain views. Just moments away from the Cane River that invites you to dip your toes in the cool, clear waters -perfect for fishing, tubing or simply soaking in nature's beauty. Equipped with a durable metal roof, central HVAC and recent upgrades throughout, this move-in-ready retreat is truly turnkey-no surprises, just peace of mind. Why wait or rent when you can own this peaceful paradise at an unbeatable price-now even more affordable after our latest $3,000 reduction? Imagine sipping your morning coffee on the porch, watching the gentle flow of the river and embracing the mountain life you've always dreamed of... in a home that's already proven it can weather the storm. Prime location: Just 5 scenic miles to charming downtown Burnsville's cafes, art galleries and local shops; only 45 minutes to vibrant Asheville for culture, dining and amenities.
